Has anyone tried disabling the mobile connection overnight? I did and I think I only lost about 5% battery after 9 hours (not exactly sure the percentage loss cuz I didn't note where it was before bed. Suffice it to say, it was warning me about low battery before bed and was at 9% when I woke up)

Well the other issue i have is sprint charges 20 cent a min to forward calls to another number, they are the last carrier to do so. When i setup my calls to go to GV voicemail i would get charged. I know they said they were dropping it but i did have 2 charges for forwarding last month. Maybe i set it up wrong. I do love having my vm transcribed for me.

Using Google Voice with a phone

Starting mid-November 2009, Sprint is enabling free conditional call forwarding on its network, allowing you to use Google voicemail with your Sprint phone number. (Standard charges will continue to apply for immediate call forwarding.) 1

Note: Until Sprint updates your account, Google Voice with your existing number may not work or you may be charged every time someone leaves a voicemail.

I haven't been keeping up with this thread so sorry if these have been mentioned before.. but does anyone else have problems send texts over 160 characters? I get sending errors over and over and the receiver never gets it, until I break it up so each is under 160.

When typing addresses into the browser, the keyboard is jumping all over the place..

Using switchpro widget causes error messages. This might be an issue with the widget and not the OS tho.

Can't de-install adw once I go to launcherpro. Probably a way to get around this with adb command line.

I was trying to change wallpapers last night and I was having a hell of a time. The OS crashed, and then no matter which I chose it would default to a grass wallpaper. A reboot seemed to fix it. Haven't tried to reproduce the issue.

Homescreen doesn't want to center on the middle of the background. If I want 5 pages, and the homescreen to be page 1, it sets it to the far left of the background. Maybe it has always been like this on all ROMs and I am just noticing it now?

Headset not showing plugged in confirmed

but playing out them fine and not both speaker and phones at the same time.

install app brain, install fast web on the phone

open fast install on phone and go through the app to allow apps to install from web

then on appbrain website, search for the app

should show install, cancel install, unistall

click install, pop says warning, click install.

I had to delete my list on the web to get it to work. Once its install, hit sync in app brain on the phone and all your apps will go to the web. Dont hit sync over and over if your trying to install from web, it doesnt do anything for you. the web has to say install to get it to work.

Install the CM6 Snap kernel, it helps a ton, seems to have regulated back to a more reasonable distribution ( and its wicked fast)

Do the battery wipe off a full charge

Those two things took me from dropping 15 % in 30 min to dropping 2 % in 45 min on sleep.

Not too bad relatively

Ghost Taps

Since I've went to CGM I am getting a ghost tap at the top left corner of my screen. Its simulating a tap without me even touching the device. Sometimes multiple taps in a row but its always the same spot. I have a nova screen so I'm wondering if the fps hack could be causing this possibly? I'm not complaining as I know this is an alpha build but what I'm wondering is if anyone else is getting this behavior or if its just me, signifying there is something possibly hardware related. Thanks all.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewguy821:
Unless something has changed in this last build, you need to do a Nandroid Backup of the CM6 Rom, install an older Rom, do the prl update then restore the Nandroid backup of CM6. This is a PITA that hopefully will be changed somewhere along the build. Possibly due to the Rom being FroYo, and 2.2 not being "officialy released" from Sprint.

Are you running the 0001PRL hack by any chance?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsallsubliminal:
Maybe it was something in the port of the bluetooth stack. If we remember, we didn't have wiimote support (via BT) before CM6, and i believe this is a port of the Nexus One's FroYo. Although both phones rock Snapdragon's, everything else could be completely different and the Evo was built to run Sense UI, not an AOSP ROM.

I was bothered by this to until I remembered something. Technically with this rom is actually using the full resolution of the camera. The stock rom was only taking pics at 3264x1952, CM6 with froyo camera is taking pics at 3264x2448. 3264x2448 is the actual resolution of the camera.
